Declaimer: I don't own Charmed.
Chapter Fifteen
"How am I ever going to get her on her own?" Leo asked Grams, Phoebe, Paige and Richard.
The group were hovering in the door way. Watching Piper curled up on the sofa with Beca and Jessie, quietly reading a book to them. Cat and Kattie sat just at their feet, playing with Wyatt. While Chris hovered around Piper, making a total fuss of his mother.
"You can't give up," Paige said. "You haven't even tried yet hon'."
"Yhea." Richard instantly agreed with his girlfriend. "And I'd do it quickly. Before she hears it from someone else. She might find out from one of these two. I mean they haven't stopped babbling since you told them."
"We don't babble." Phoebe protested. "Piper's the only Halliwell who babbles."
"Give it a chance Leo." Grams said. "She loves you and you love her. So don't think. Just go for it and ask. If you don't you'll just be wondering what might of happened for the rest of your life."
"What do you want me to do?" Leo asked sarcastically. "Propose over the loud speaker system at P3?"
"It's a possibility." Paige said.
""No," Grams shook her head. "I wouldn't if I were you. Jeremy did the whole propose at surprise party, in front of large crowed thing. She'd only freak out."
"Who's Jeremy?" Richard asked.
"Piper's ex-fiancée," Paige said. "Dur!"
"He also turned out to be a warlock," Phoebe corrected. "Who tried to kill us, I mean her, us, what ever."
"Dur right back at ya girl." Richard made a face at Paige.
She made one right back at him. Poking her tong out for good measure.
"Did I ever tell you how much I hate him?" Grams asked Phoebe.
"Oh only every day Piper was with him until you died." Phoebe said with a little sarcastic smile.
"What are you four whispering about?" Piper called as she walked into the kitchen.
"We're not whispering! Phoebe said.
"No", Paige said, putting her arm around Piper. "Your Grams has just been ranting about your scum bag ex-fiancée."
"Ow, which one?" Piper asked. "I'll join in. I just love bad mouthing those guys."
She let herself flop down into a chair with a sigh. "So who am I insulting?"
"Jeremy," Phoebe said. "But feel free to insult the other guy, whoever he may be, as much as you like."
"And tell us who he is, what he did, oh and any other choice details you can think of." Paige added in with a ghoust of a smile.
"You lot are really bad at dropping hints," Piper said softly. "But I believe you should know, what went on if you're going to have any sort of relationship with my girls. I think I just need to talk to my family. So," She smiled at Richard. "Could you go and watch the girls with Chris for me please. We'll talk up in the attic. Is that alright with everybody?"
